To ensure safety of cycle users and their rights for safer mobility, we are organizing a mass cycle rally to draw attention and pressurize concerned governmental authorities to build dedicated cycle lanes throughout city. This is also being organized in the meantime government is widening the existing road networks and opening new ones supposedly to reduce traffic congestion.

Why Cycle Lanes?

“Quality bicycle infrastructure is evidence of democracy: it shows that a citizen on a bicycle is equally important as one in an expensive car”- Enrique Penalosa (Former Mayor of Bogota)

Thousands of people commute daily in cycle in Kathmandu Valley. However, lack of dedicated cycle lanes and other basic infrastructures, the streets are very unsafe for cycle users, and thus discouraging people opting cycle for their daily mobility. The urban transport planning and development is vehicle centric rather than people centric. To be noted, the non-motorised transport users (pedestrians and cycle users) are the largest group to be killed in road accidents.

What in the rally?

Biggest Cycle Rally

A petition letter will be handed to concerned and related agencies demanding for dedicated cycle lanes throughout the city

The rally will collect funds to hand Prime Minister a cycle and urgefor cycle inclusive planning.
